Do appliances installed after 1980 have any potential safety risks?
No, natural gas appliances installed after 1980 were subjected to a more vigorous approval process that included testing them on a range of gases. Natural gas appliances manufactured after 1980 will not be affected. It is important to note that for any gas appliances to work at their full potential, they do require regular servicing. It is recommended that appliances be serviced in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions or if the manufacturer’s instructions are not available at least once every 2 years.
